I am using the default version of Firefox (27) on OpenSuse 13.1. I downloaded and installed Firefox os simulator plugin, version 1.1 searched with Google, but it does not start. If I open the App Manager and then I click "launch simulator", I will receive the error that no simulator is installed. But the menu item "Firefox OS Simulator" is in "Tools"->"Web development" menu...
EDIT: in "tools"->"plugins" there is "Firefox OS simulator 4.0.1 by Myk Melez".
But why??

Okay, thanks for that info.

You're not the only Linux user having trouble, as there have been some other reports of this. Please follow this bug as we work to resolve the issue.

Hello spode, i think for firefox 26 and above you need version 1.2 and above (1.1 can only be installed on Firefox 24 or Firefox 25.)

thank you

Do you see any errors if you open the Browser Console (Tools -> Web Developer -> Browser Console) after trying to start the simulator?

Are you on a 32 bit or 64 bit OS (from uname -a)? Is your installation of Firefox itself 32 bit or 64 bit (check output of "file /usr/lib/firefox/firefox" or a similar command based on where Firefox is installed)?
